He said: "Sometimes if the entertainment didn't turn up she would step in. She was the life and soul of the party. She loved singing and would entertain everyone. Everyone loved her, she had lots of friends."

Pat's friend, Kim Longley, said: "I first met Pat about 31 years ago and we ended up working in Halfway together.

"Pat was always ready and willing to help in any way. You would have to walk a long way to find another like Pat. Young and old, everyone loved her. She loved Tina Turner which was the right song because she was simply the best."
